DENVER — If DJ LeMahieu had been born with Cicero’s tongue, or the mouth of Shannon Sharpe, we might know better what rattles around his head in those major moments, both upsetting and triumphant.

The Rockies second baseman speaks more with clipped phrases than epic orations. After LeMahieu hit a two-run, game-winning home run in the ninth inning Wednesday at Coors Field, most of what we were left with was a sly smile.

“A lot of fun,” LeMahieu said.

That’s it? That’s all he could muster after his line drive shot off Arizona’s Yoshihisa Hirano landed three rows up the right-field stands above the out-of-town scoreboard?

That’s the sum total of explanation after his exultant walk-off homer, the first of his career, rallied the Rockies to a stinging 5-4 defeat of the Diamondbacks in an increasingly wild race in the National League West?
